    Very nice place. They need a little more leg space in the seating. Amenities were good. Restrooms clean. Parking okay.

    Such a beautiful Theater, we went there with kids , we are all amazed
    Actor and actresses are so incredible, skill level and ability of performers in the acting profession to portray characters convincingly, evoke emotions, and bring stories to life is truly impressive and showcasing remarkable talent.we all felt deeply connected to the characters they play,body language, voice projection,and they made their performances feel genuine.We all love it
    Their voice was so beautiful , really impressive , Orchestra was amazing
    The whole place is very organized, there is plenty of space in the parking lot, the staff is very kind and they help you with anything you might need. Inside there are also places where you can buy drinks and snacks.We will come back for another show

    Frozen was a Great musical but our grand daughters are still too young but by age 8+ it would be a fantastic show.

    Drinks will obliterate about a tenth of your savings but it was worth the experience. When's the next time you'll get to experience and Andre 3000 performance in Houston?

    It's a really nice theatre. It has the balcony boxes to the sides if you want to feel a little extra fancy. The chairs were comfortable, and there were drink holders. There is a bar available and plentiful bathrooms located downstairs. The staff was really nice. I hope to come back to see another show.

    The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts provided a magnificent stage for the breathtaking production of The Lion King. The show itself was an unparalleled experience, a testament to the power of live theater. The cast’s talent and the production’s technical brilliance were simply extraordinary.
    Unfortunately, the evening was marred somewhat by the parking situation. The exit process proved to be an unexpectedly lengthy ordeal, requiring approximately an hour to navigate. While this does not detract from the quality of the performance or the venue itself, it is a significant point of contention. It is strongly recommended that patrons consider valet parking to avoid this inconvenience, as the additional cost may be worth the time saved.
    Despite this singular issue, the Hobby Center remains a premier venue for the performing arts, and we eagerly anticipate future performances.

    It's no wonder Disney Lion King is The World's #1 musical! I had an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed the venue at The Hobby Center in downtown Houston for the performing arts. The show itself was spectacular, and the seating was comfortable.
    I sat in the mezzanine section in the center because it's on the same floor with the bar and snacks. The elevator and stairs were easily accessible and valet and self parking were available and reasonably priced. I am excited to explore more of the performances coming because, again, it was an awesome experience, and I highly recommend it!
